Nocas bi hteo

hiljadu lasta ispod streje
nocas bi hteo letnje kise
niz njeno lice i nista vise
Ref. 2x
Nocas bi hteo njene usne
umesto vina, umesto casa
a snene oci i vrelo lice
da ljubim uz pesmu tamburasa
Nocas bi hteo da bude cigra
na srcu mome da se igra
ko trista ruza da mirise
u vrtu mome i nista vise
Ref. 2x
Nocas bi hteo da nespava
sve sto sam sanjao da bude java
u narucju mome da se njise
celog zivota i nista vise
Ref. 2x
